After getting COVID, Spencer can't stop telling the truth.
Desperate to be 'fixed,' he seeks professional help from a therapist. Instead, that journey leads him to tell the world every secret he swore to keep buried forever; including his attraction to older (much older) men.
Part confession booth, part accidental stand-up, DADDY ISSUES is a bold solo show where the audience becomes Waldner's therapist in real time. The play weaves together identity, family, upbringing and asks the question: What happens when the stories we tell ourselves stop protecting us?
Fresh off a sold-out, critically acclaimed run at Hollywood Fringe, Waldner makes his Edinburgh Fringe debut.
